On the backs of the aflfl was considerable writing in Bulgarian, with the single sentence in English, "I am tired and disgusted with the lifte for 30 years." Other papers indicated that Tanos-- off also went by the name of Tony Elliof?, and police belteve that while he.was taking the money from the Lewis soft drink parlor at Browning avenue and Kennard streets, he was depositing it--in various banks under as:umed names. "God help you if you don't obey these instructions by Friday at the latest," was the warnidg in a letter received yesterday by Ernest Mayer, | Lake Forest police commissioner and wealthy real estate broker, in which | a person signing himself as the "Rat" | demanded that $3,500 be left for him at an elevated station in Chicago. I Receipt of the letter, the second in a few weeks, has brought about an : extensive investigation in which po-- | lice of Lake Forest and Chicago and : postal inspectors are taking part, in an effort to determine the identity. of the sender. * .In the first letter the extortionist demanded $5,000, but this was ignored by Mr. Mayer. The second letter, more severe and threatening in tone, asked the smaller amount. He is also of the belief that the author of the letters lives in Chicago. He is forced to make daily trips be-- tween his home in L&ake Forest and his offices at 77 West Washington The police are holding the gun with which tboth were slain and have re-- covered the bullet which killed the girl. The steel slug, after piercing her heart, went through two pillows. one mattress and was embedded deep in the secord matt »ss on the bed. At the post mor: m held Sunday night by Coroner John L. Taylor as-- sisted by John Milroy, it was found that three bullets entered her breast, anyone of which would be sufficient to kill her. One plerced her heart and two her lungs. ~*TWe murdered girl had called at the* office of E.. R.

"The investment company, due to its credit, has access to wide invest-- mnt markets, from which is procures money to invest in the common stocks of its operating compgnies," Mr. Insull points out. "In order to meet the ever increasing demands for service, the operating companies must be sure of a steady flow of new capital in large amounts, since the electric light and year, and the picture at 'WWW' will be changed. On March fourth, next, a new Administration will be installed and the battle for political preferment will be at high tide.

The candidate is usually named at these meetings. It'is seldom that the popular favorite is awarded the nomination. His chance comes on the first day and then the "dark horses" or compromise candidates are trotted out for the consideration of the nomi-- nating convention. . The lobbies of the Capitol are filled with earnest advocates of flood and farm relief. They are cognizant of the "It is well to remember," concluded Mr. Insull, "the nation's abundant and satisfactory power supply, has 'been very largely due to the actvities of the holding or investment companies. The week of March 3 to 10, will be marked by CadillacLaSalle distrib-- utors and dealers thruout the United States as the first anniversary of the announcement of the new LaSalle car.

The difference betwen thos who take sur-- face signs for actual trends as it te-- lates their fartorite candidate for the nominations, is that which marks the novice from the seasoned observer. It should be born in mind that the ca&n-- didate apparently the popular favorite does not always come under the wire as a winner at the: convention. -- .. For instance, Herbert Hoover is by all odds, running away with the field on the Republican side, three months before the convention. Inquiry shows that the real ovinion this week among the leaders. is, that Hoover's candi-- dacy will fall short, unless he sweeps the delegates on the early ballots, Campaign history shows that machine politics has its innings when leaders gather qdoutg* in a hotel room near the conven hall for:a solem powl tgln vital legislation here.-- The opin-- jon prevails that politiecs will dominate the legisiative assmblies from now un-- til the adjournment in June that little will be accomplished. with special Mxho-u&* demon-- strations. < : On the night of March 5, the Cadiliac division will be host on the air in the General Motorg radio series and will broadcast a program of concert music g'om 8:30 to 9:30, central standard me. The date, by happy coimcidenc, is the birthday of Antoinre de LaMotheé Cadillac, name--giver of the Cadillac and founder. of the city of Detroit, who was born on March 5, 1668. It is also the first anniversary of the an-- nouncement of the LaSalle car. _ The immediate success of the new LaSalle was one of the outstanding highpoints of the industry auring 1927. This is explained by officials of the company by the facts that it .'ha.d behind it, a reputation for qual ity manufacture, built up by the organ-- Jzation during a quarter of a century, that from the outset, it was a Cadillac lquuty thruout. and was designed by QCadmac engineers, and built by the | veteran force: of ~Cadillac craftsmen |within the company's own plants within the company's own plants -- The beauty -nd'n&lhlmeu'of'the new LaSalle design, anticipated by nearly a full year . the developing tastes of the motoring public and made an instant appeal, not only in the United, States, but thruout the world, drawing highest honors -- at body builders' display in the art ten-- ters . of Europe, South America and even in Egypt. All this contributed to the unprecedented sales of the car.
